Why Is Chicago Suing Glock For Criminals Using Glock Switches?

About this video

Colion examines a lawsuit filed by the city of Chicago against Glock over illegally modified firearms equipped with “switches” that convert pistols to fully automatic. He argues that this is a strategic legal tactic by anti-gun groups to financially burden gun manufacturers through lawsuits, even though Glock doesn’t make the illegal switches and the devices are already federally prohibited. Colion contends that Chicago’s lawsuit is designed to circumvent federal protections for gun manufacturers by claiming negligence in design rather than direct criminal misuse.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that Chicago is suing Glock over illegally modified pistols with “switches,” even though Glock doesn’t manufacture these conversion devices and they’re already illegal under federal law.
• Colion argues that the lawsuit is part of a broader anti-gun strategy to bankrupt firearms manufacturers through costly litigation, circumventing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act via state-level laws.
• Colion claims that Chicago’s own crime statistics show declining homicide and shooting rates, undermining the urgency of the lawsuit and exposing what he sees as political maneuvering rather than genuine public safety concerns.
